American Manufacturing Council

The American Manufacturing Council was an advisory board of several top CEOs that was set up by US president Donald Trump on 27 January 2017. The party was chaired by Dow Chemical Company CEO Andrew Liveris, and its leaders were supposed to advise Trump on economic matters. In June 2017, Elon Musk left the council after the US government withdrew from the Paris Agreement, and 8 CEOs resigned in response to Trump's refusal to condemn white nationalists after the Unite the Right rally in August 2017. Under pressure from 9 of the remaining 12 CEOs on the council, Trump disbanded the council on 16 August 2017.
